Is Seantrel Henderson worth the Hurricanes’ trouble?

….Seantrel Henderson, the nation’s No. 1 recruit, has some Bryce Brown in him. Henderson said on Wednesday that he will attend USC, but will wait to sign a national letter of intent until the school meets with the NCAA on Feb. 19 regarding various alleged violations. Henderson, who according to a New York Times story made UM coach Randy Shannon wait for an hour-and-half during an in-home visit two weeks ago so he could get his hair done, might sign with Miami if he decides to back out of his USC commitment. Henderson has until April 1 to sign. I don’t know the kid but I smell trouble.

….it’s wrong for coaches to resign their positions immediately after National Signing Day to go elsewhere as UM running backs coach Tommie Robinson did last week. Unless Robinson was upfront with the players he was recruiting – including the four running backs that signed with the Hurricanes — and let them know he was intent on leaving, it smacks of dishonesty.

….walk-on Spencer Whipple, the son of UM offensive coordinator Mark Whipple, has a good shot of being the Hurricanes’ No. 2 quarterback next season behind Jacory Harris.

….the Los Angeles Clippers and Isiah Thomas would be a perfect match.

….funnyman Adam Sandler, who I literally ran into at the Super Bowl media center last week, is far shorter – maybe 5-foot-8 – than I imagined.

….the most disappointing aspect of the Hurricanes’ recruiting class was that none of the six big-time high school prospects that UM hosted on the final weekend of recruiting signed with the school. That despite the public relations boost of having a record 11 UM alumni in town to play in the Pro Bowl.

….Dwayne Collins‘ inability to fire off more than 8 shots in any of the Hurricanes’ last seven games – a combined 15 field-goal attempts in the past three games – is the major reason for the team’s struggles. That is besides turnovers, missed free throws and shoddy defense.

….UM’s early football schedule is more difficult than it was last season. The Hurricanes are playing three consecutive road games – at Ohio State, Pittsburgh and Clemson — for the first time since the 2002 season.

….there’s more to Arthur Brown’s departure from UM than his merely wanting to spend more time with his family.

….the three funniest shows on television are Modern Family, Parks and Recreation and Family Guy.
